macro viruses and Internet Assistant

[Sweeting, Floyd]

If you can download off of the web, you can handle downloading and 
installing the virus protection tool offered on the Microsoft web page 
(where you downloaded Internet Assistant.)  Simple instructions are 
provided.  The macro virus is harmless but annoying and the free software 
from MS should take care of it.

Has anyone been plagued by this virus and if so, how did you get rid of it?
 I found a site that lets you download the mvtool20, but haven't downloaded
it yet since I'm pretty non-technical, especially when it comes to viruses.
Does anyone have suggestions for coping with this?  I do a lot of
downloading off the web, we are networked and have an antivirus program,  so 

major viruses are not a problem, but this one is a pest.
Is this in any way related to Internet Assistant, which is the html editor I 

use to create mini hyperlinked documents.
